Patent number: 11366128Abstract: A biological analysis system comprising at least one inlet and one outlet, at least two biological analysis devices connected to one another by a conveyor defining a closed circuit, each biological analysis device comprising a region for the exchange of tube holding racks with the conveyor. The conveyor and the at least one inlet of the biological analysis system comprise a reader of an identifier of a tube holding rack which reader is designed to communicate an identifier it has read to a controller of the biological analysis system, which controller is designed to apply a specific treatment to a tube holding rack identified by the reader of the conveyor and the identifier of which has not previously been read by the reader of the at least one inlet of the biological analysis system.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2018Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: HORIBA ABX SASInventors: Florent Beauducel, Philippe Benezeth, Thibault Cres

Patent number: 11360109Abstract: A biological analysis system comprises at least two biological analysis devices connected to one another by a conveyor defining a closed circuit, each biological analysis device comprising at least one inlet and one outlet for racks of tubes, and at least one exchange region for exchanging racks of tubes with the conveyor, which exchange region is distinct from the inlet and from the outlet. The inlet of at least two biological analysis devices each form an inlet of the biological analysis system for racks of tubes, and the outlet of at least two biological analysis devices each form an outlet of the biological analysis system for racks of tubes. The biological analysis system further comprises a controller designed to command the transfer of a rack of tubes received in the biological analysis system via the conveyor to another biological analysis device according to the operations to be performed on the tubes in that rack and/or according to a respective workload status of the biological analysis devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2018Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: HORIBA ABX SASInventors: Florent Beauducel, Philippe Benezeth, Thibault Cres

Patent number: 10794922Abstract: A device for agitating and collecting biological liquid samples comprises an agitator of racks of tubes and a sampling apparatus capable of collecting a biological liquid sample in a tube. The device also comprises a scheduler arranged to specify an order of sampling from the tubes independently of the order in which the tubes are positioned in the respective racks and the order in which the racks are inserted into the device. The scheduler is arranged to control the agitator and the sampling apparatus to process the tubes in accordance with the sampling order.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2016Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: HORIBA ABX SASInventors: Sylvain Andlauer, Florent Beauducel, Philippe Benezeth

Patent number: 10150119Abstract: The invention relates to a sampling valve and to a device equipped with such a valve notably allowing haematology measurements to be taken from a blood sample. The valve comprise two external parts, one internal part clamped between said external parts, and means for regulating the relative angular position of these parts about an axis of rotation. The internal part has opposite surfaces pressing in a sealed and sliding manner against adjacent surfaces of the external parts. The external parts comprise orifices, loops and ducts, said loops and said ducts being arranged in such a way as to communicate selectively with orifices passing through the internal part. The valve parts have no aliquot return groove or recess or labyrinth, thereby eliminating regions of turbulence. The valve is characterized in that two of the parts are able to rotate about the axis of rotation with respect to one of the said parts which is stationary, the rotary parts preferably being the external parts.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: HORIBA ABX SASInventors: Nathalie Henon, Florent Beauducel

Patent number: 7028943Abstract: Yarn is dispensed by a yarn guide mobile in translation parallel to generatrices of a rotary holder. The device comprises a carriage receiving the yarn guide and having fittings for being coupled with a flexible transmission and driving member adapted to impart to the yarn guide a reciprocating movement, in combination with a translational guide, parallel to the generatrices of the rotary holder. The yarn guide, the translational guide and the fittings being offset at an angle on the carriage to generate an additional speed component proximate to changeover points.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2005Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Rieter Textile Machinery FranceInventors: Florent Beauducel, Jean-Baptiste Droc
